Kate Greenaway Poems

FAIRY Blue Eyes
And Fairy Brown,
And dear little Golden Curls,
Look down.
...

IN my little Green House, quite content am I,
When the hot sun pours down from the sky;
For oh, I love the country–the beautiful country.
...

PRAY let me introduce you to
This little dancing family;
For morning, afternoon, and night
They danced away so happily.
...

WHEN you and I
Grow up–Polly–
I mean that you and me,
Shall go sailing in a big ship
...

WILLY said to his sister,
'Please may I go with you?'
She said, 'You must behave
Very nicely if you do.'
...

OH, if you were a little boy,
And I was a little girl–
Why you would have some whiskers grow
And then my hair would curl.
...

YOU see, merry Phillis, that dear little maid,
Has invited Belinda to tea;
Her nice little garden is shaded by trees -
...

WITH Roses–red Roses,
We'll pelt her with Roses,
And Lilies–white Lilies we'll drop at her feet;
The little Queen's coming,
...

YOU very fine Miss Molly,
What will the daisies say,
If you carry home so many
Of their little friends to-day?
...

LITTLE girlie tell to me
What your wistful blue eyes see?
Why you like to stand so high,
Looking at the far off sky.
...
